The Best Kate Middleton Clothing Lookalikes Available at Amazon, Zara and H&M

When Princess Catherine dons a suit, it’s rarely a boring basic. She’s often spotted in bold colors that make her outfits feel more playful while still looking professional enough for any sort of royal engagement. For us normal folk, it's a great approach to office dressing, especially if you have an important meeting during the day but want to head straight to dinner after. You could even throw on a colorful blazer, like the Cicy Bell one below, with your tried-and-true black pants for a simple pop of color.

One style Middleton definitely wears on repeat is a classic Breton striped top—and who can blame her? The versatile (and very French) style works for workdays, weekend errands, lunch dates and so much more. You can score one for yourself for as low as $17 thanks to this H&M find. However, I’m partial to this short-sleeve option from Zara, which is made from breathable organic cotton (meaning it's heat wave-friendly) and features fun contrast accents.

A good summer dress is a must for any capsule wardrobe, and Middleton totally nailed the look with this A-line gingham style. Since the pattern has been especially trendy lately, there is no shortage of budget-friendly finds out there. I particularly love the versatility of this tie-belt shirtdress that could just as easily be worn to brunch as it could for a day of sightseeing on vacation. As a bonus, the check print transitions seamlessly into fall.

A midi or maxi skirt with a flowy, pleated style has a lot of potential. It can be completely dressed up—think, with a pretty beaded or silk tank for a bridal shower or even a casual wedding—or dressed down with a cotton tee or slouchy sweater. Middleton’s look here falls somewhere in between. I love how she paired this ivory number with a slightly oversized blazer, giving the elegant fit a more laid-back feel. You can shop a similar blazer at Zara for just $80. I’d pair it with a fitted top and this crepe skirt from H&M.

It’s no secret that a matching set is one of the best ways to look put-together with minimal effort, but opting for a two-piece with a little structure like Middleton’s will make your ensemble feel more elevated. See: this vest set from Amazon. If you want something slightly more casual that you could wear for a day of shopping and lunch with friends, I’d suggest opting for this skirt set from Prettygarden that’s just $40 for both pieces. This breathable linen set from Zara, meanwhile, is ideal for those scorching late summer days.

I couldn’t write a list of Middleton’s outfits without mentioning outerwear. The royal is known for her collection of stunning coats and jackets, but I’m especially drawn to her more casual—but no less sophisticated—layers. Even when she's opting for something outdoorsy and utilitarian, she chooses tailored styles with interesting details that make them look expensive and chic, like the defined waist and chest pockets of the one pictured above. But you don’t have to spend a ton to get the same effect. The weighty fabric and cinched waist of this H&M style make it look designer, while this $46 Amazon pick has similar pockets.
